I don't think so...
New Orleans is in "the South".......

But don't just start stocking up on gear. Hammer your reps and senators. Keep this thing as far away from the next president's desk as possible, because the candidates from either party, just like the current lame duck, would sign it.

N.O. is a socialist welfare city, its the exception not the norm for a southern city.....Thats why I live in S.C. Several our local law enforcement officials have stated that they will not participate in ANY type of federal gun confiscation from law abiding citizens what so ever.

Also how would they outlaw transfers between individuals in the first place when they can't prove the date that the transaction actually happened, and with all the surplus military high cap mags out there how would you control the transfer of those?

By the way, the part I find scariest in the new bill is SEC 3.A.30.a.L:

The odd thing about that is U.S. vs Miller (1939), the case that the anti's cite (incorrectly) as support for the militia view of the 2A, was decided based on the fact that the defendant did not appear to justify the infantry applications of the sawed-off shotgun in question. In essence, the 'showpiece' SCOTUS decision of the antis makes those guns constitutionally protected precisely because they are originially desiged for 'military or law enforcement use'.
